AbstractLow-back pain nearly affects all the people in the population; male or female, at any period of their lives and continues with spontaneous regressive attacks. In 10% of the patients, the pain persists despite conservative treatments and causes significant decrements of life quality. For this reason, the patients with chronic low back-pain are applying to pain specialists and treated with different invasive pain therapies. Epidural steroid injections are the most common invasive procedures in the treatment of low-back pain. However, the effects and outcomes are contradictory. Epidural steroid injections should be performed absolutely under fluoroscopic guidance. Pain selection should be made carefully and algorithms should be performed fastidiously.
